Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
greg775 replied to Paulie4Pres's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I just watched the highlights of the win. Fans booed the Sox off the field after winning. I think that's a little harsh but I understand the sentiment. Still seemed a little weird to boo a victory. I want the team to stay in the 30s for wins but if they must win they must win. It's still our team like it or not. -
Poor Eloy. His career already is in the bounce around stage. I wonder who'll take him for next season,

9/24 Sox vs. Halos 6:40PM - A chance to witness history
greg775 replied to DoUEvenShift's topic in 2024 Season in Review
He's actually become an average player. Again, another guy the Sox will market in the offseason as a stud they don't need to replace. I do appreciate all his home runs this season. It appears he tries hard. -

Exactly. I already made that point either here or to friends. Let's face it some of the young guys have been playing and the Sox won't have to go out and sign any DeJong's or Nickys. They've got some young guys like Sosa they've been playing. They already have their catcher, etc. And Cannon was outstanding and they have a plethora of young arms that they'll say are all studs. I knew we'd have a good final two weeks. Par for the course. Please don't win 40 games. Stay under 40. -

You won't be seeing many if any players get in the Hall during the era of analytics. Ohtani of course. Voters won't reward starters for their 5 inning magic. Relievers are a dime a dozen nowadays. Hitters won't have the batting average. Maybe a couple sluggers besides Ohtani if they can lift and pull 700 or more bombs. -

Because of what's happened to the franchise, might as well keep losing the rest of this week. Keep the losses coming. -
ESPN predicts 120 loss season for the White Sox

Yet he's just another guy. He's pretty unsplendid. -
ESPN predicts 120 loss season for the White Sox
greg775 replied to hankchifan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Kudos to ESPN for knowing. I wonder what we all predicted. I betcha I had us under 40 wins. ... That said I was thinking today that the Sox high paid executives had to know this team was horsebleep coming out of spring training and would be monumentally bad. Lineup: Full of wiffle ball bats. ONLY way it coulda been an OK offense is if Moncada, Robert, Vaughn, Sheets, Beni raked at the plate to make up for your Maldy's, Nickys, DeBongs and the other stiffs on the roster. Anybody with a brain knew the players I mentioned would not rake. Hence offensive potential out of spring training? 2 out of 10 max. Pitching: Cmon. The Sox entered the season with the worst rotation in baseball. The Sox entered with the worst bullpen in team history. Pitching potential out of ST? 2 out of 10 max. Defense: Whatever. You knew we were weak up the middle or average at best. Beni is a joke in LF arm wise. Robert is good. RF was a total joke. Defensive potential 3.5 out of 10. It all added up to a horrible record. Sox wasted a lot of money on front office personnel. Fathom and Caulfield coulda written an essay for them showing we would stink. -
C is the answer. No reason for ballplayers to cite the weaknesses of a franchise unless they are asked.

Sox @ SD Game Thread (9/21) Not Needed; Sox Still Suck
greg775 replied to WhiteSox2023's topic in 2024 Season in Review
Well they did it. 120 losses. Now they have to stay in the 30s in wins. The sad thing is, today's lineup is pretty much next year's lineup. I can't see why they should be any better with that the case. Subtrack Crochet and you get a worse season some how. -

I want win total to be in the 30s. That's a remarkable achievement. -

I'm assuming Sosa makes very little money. So there's one spot locked up for next season. Probably Vargas as well. So there's 2 slots they don't have to find a DeBong or Nicky L type. -

Do u really believe that? He and Benetti were amazing. And he and Hawk. I just found Stoney so enjoyable when I watched games. -

You'd think Stoney would quit after the final game. Some other team would pick him up in a minute. His partner is amateurish sorry to say. He can stay obviously but Stoney should move on and let him have Gordo. -

119 losses. How? Why? Nobody could have ever predicted a team could ever be this bad. Even expansion teams won more games in a season. Jerry is a colossal failure. This almost nullifies the 2005 title. I mean there's still a chance we don't even win 40. Think about that. Jerry ... get some of your money and walk through the crowd at our final home game and give out some 100 dollar bills. My gawd. -
I'd say the highest possible win total is 50. Maybe they'll win 45 just cause of law of averages.
-
I think it'll be worse. They have no good everyday players except maybe Robert and the catcher might be acceptable. Sox will be out of the race in April again. How they get buried by the likes of KC, Minnie, Detroit and Cleveland is puzzling.
-
Lot of fans on here believe in the myth. Unfortunately the double tank jobs mean no title contention for a good, long while. How long? WE HAVE NO GOOD PLAYERS except Crochet and maybe Robert (though some say our young pitching may be stellar). It's gonna take a long while.
-
Cause he's a budding star and the goal of all teams should be to keep their stars. It mite translate to wins.
-
Cause he's from Naperville.
-
Tatis looked hitterish and like he cared. Robert ... me no likey his last at bat. Losing 120 games will be epic if it happens.
-
Tatis????? LOL. What an organization. What a joke. Another guy who coulda made us a WINNER. Bunch of stiffs.
-
Wow. Good game. I wonder why I want the Sox to lose. Habit I guess. Sox made a good move putting in the lefty against all those lefties.
-
Wild pitch would be fitting, lol.
-
I know why u bunt but if u are playing the Sox and are the Pads why bunt? Two on none out. Eventually you'll get the winning hit.
